Su Bingtian poses after the 100m race at the Tokyo OlympicsAt the closing ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, 32-year-old sprinter Su Bingtian was honored with the five-star sprinter representing the Chinese delegation.
Chinese media such as Peng Pai reported that Su Bingtian, who played in the men’s 100m finals on the 8th, was selected as the jockey for the closing ceremony to be held at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium in the afternoon.
Su Bingtian finished sixth in the 100m event held at the main stadium of the Tokyo Olympics on the 1st, but has risen to become the most loved athlete by the Chinese.
This is because, for the first time in Asia, he crossed the threshold of 9 seconds and 9 and reached the Olympic men’s 100m final, which rarely gives seats to Asians.
In particular, at the time of player introduction, pointing the finger at the ‘CHINA’ mark on the top, and posing in front of reporters wearing the Five Star Red Flag after the race, made 1.4 billion Chinese enthusiastic.
It was customary for the gold medalist to lead the closing ceremony of the Chinese team.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Badminton Gold Medalist Zhang Ning (??), and at the London and Rio Olympics in yacht and table tennis, Shi Li-Ja and Ding Ning (丁?) raised the five star flags.
“Su Bingtian did not win a medal, but he performed like a god in this Olympics,” said Peng Pai.
